SETTING DEPTH
See Figure 6.
The depth adjustment knob increases or decreases the force
with which a staple is driven into the workpiece.
 Rotate the depth adjustment knob clockwise to increase
the force.
 Rotate depth adjustment knob counterclockwise to
decrease the force.
 Test on a scrap piece of the same material you are using
to achieve the desired depth.
NOTE: Harder materials will require more force to drive
a staple.
STAPLING
See Figure 7.
 Hold handle firmly with magazine flat to workpiece,
forming a 90º angle.
 Press the activation foot of the stapler down against the
workpiece. The activation foot must be depressed before
the switch trigger is depressed.
NOTE: The tool will drive another staple each time the
trigger is depressed as long as the activation foot is
depressed.
REMOVING A JAMMED STAPLE
 Remove battery pack from the tool.
 Hold tool upside down; squeeze latch and slide base
open.
 Remove unused staples from magazine.
 Remove jammed staple with needle nose pliers.
NOTE: You must remove jammed staple before using tool
any further. If you try to drive a staple while the tool is
jammed, you could cause damage to the mechanism.
